Exactly. This will hurt resellers and shady mom and pops. For consumers it will mean more pairs at retail locations like ftl and more pairs online.

If it means more pairs in the bigger chains and online
I'm down for it
Mom and Pop stores better start slinging them Adidas, Reeboks, New Balance and Asics,
They will be just fine not doubt about itIm sure theyll be fine. Im sure everyone gonna flock to get that adidas kanye when theres a gazillion pairs. Hell reebok may not even exist anymore by next year. Nike playin chess not checkers.

Of course I paid retail... that's what I/we would've paid anywhere u bought the shoes from. Who or what store isn't going to charge u at least MSRP? I was just saying he always showed me love by letting me get them early and not charging me city/state tax. That was just cool of him and always saved me $15-$20he may have not charged you taxs but did you pay retail for the shoe or 3x the price
I used to reserve like that as well at my local shop. but the owner told me that becamse "illegal" a few years ago. apparently that's something JB tried to stop awhile back
I used to have a shop around my way that would get all of the retros back in the day. All I had to do was reserve which ever ones I wanted and I paid retail. No lining up, no raffles, none of the non-sense there is now. Fast forward to present day, they started increasing the prices and started making people wait in line for the shoes. I think JB cut them off because they would get very few models and lately they haven't been getting anything. I'm sort of sad and glad JB decided to do this. On one hand, it's probably going to be more difficult for people to get their pairs if they were used to going to the neighborhood shop. It will definitely put a dent in the shop's revenue since JB has releases almost every weekend. On the other hand, it punishes the shops that don't follow proper procedure and want to screw over the customer by inflating the price. Wonder what this will do to some of those online retailers.
I'm thinking that's probably what happened to my shop too. It's a shame how things are now.

JB cutting off the supply man to make top dollar on their inventory..smh. Wouldn't be surprised if it has been discussed or will be discussed at some point to stop selling these through big chain stores as well..
Good. No more resellers getting full size runs from their "plug". No more back dooring.
I think the selling early is whatever, but jacking up price over MSRP when you are supposed to be a legit retailer, thats whack.My local mom and pop been cut off for years now, sold Concords early and the pairs left over for 225 some called Nike real quick and they havent recieved retros ever since
